Winter Camp

Still really enjoying the works of Kirkpatrick Hill -- great kids adventures in the Alaska wilderness. Survival, kindness, and the challenges of growing up in a harsh environment, caught between the old ways and the new. Continuing adventures of Toughboy and Sister (from a previous book), but both can stand alone.

Winter Camp is the sequel to Toughboy and Sister by Alaskan author Kirkpatrick Hill. In this book, orphaned siblings Toughboy and Sister accompany their elderly caregiver Natasha to her remote winter cabin for the trapping season. In this young adult realistic fiction novel, Kirkpatrick Hill details many aspects of life as an Athabascan Indian before modern technologies changed most peoples’ way of life. Natasha, fully steeped in the “old ways,” teaches Toughboy and Sister how to survive the frigid temperatures of the arctic.

Eleven-year-old Toughboy and his sister survive the Alaskan winter at a friend's trapping camp. Sequel to Toughboy and Sister.
